Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 I have a 71 year old female patient who has recently been dx with Scleroderma. It appears to be limited to her arms and hands, but the full workup has not been completed to see if there is lung or kidney involvement yet. Anyone have any tried and tested treatments for this disease? Her hands itch and hurt, and we have put her on moisturizing cream and she is taking pain med for the associated shin pain. I am looking for anything you might be able to offer her to make her life more comfortable while the rest of the dx workup is being done. Grice, DC Albany, OR Quote
